Abstract
Description


FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the captive latch for a fluorescent lighting fixture according to the present invention;



FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of the captive latch for a fluorescent lighting fixture;



FIG. 3 is an elevational view of one side of the captive latch for a fluorescent lighting fixture, the other side being identical thereto;



FIG. 4 is a top plan view of the captive latch for a fluorescent lighting fixture;



FIG. 5 is a bottom plan view of the captive latch for a fluorescent lighting fixture; and,



FIG. 6 is a rear plan view of the captive latch for a fluorescent lighting fixture.


The break lines throughout the drawing figures exclude the captive latch for a fluorescent lighting fixture's greater environment from the disclosure and form no part of the claimed design. The environment that forms no part of the claimed design is not shown in FIG. 6 because it would block the view of the claimed subject matter. The broken lines (where present) in all FIGS, illustrate the environment of or portions of the captive latch for a fluorescent lighting fixture that form no part of the claimed design.


Claims
  • The ornamental design for a captive latch for a fluorescent lighting fixture, as shown and described.
